Double centralizing theorems for the alternating groups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let Votimesn be the n-fold tensor product of a vector space V. Following I. Schur we consider the action of the symmetric group Sn on Votimesn by permuting coordinates. In the `super' (BbbZ2 graded) case V=V0oplusV1, a pm sign is added [BR]. These actions give rise to the corresponding Schur algebras S(Sn,V). Here S(Sn,V) is compared with S(An,V), the Schur algebra corresponding to the alternating subgroup AnsubsetSn. While in the `classical' (signless) case these two Schur algebras are the same for n large enough, it is proved that in the `super' case where dimV0=dimV1, S(An,V) is isomorphic to the crossed-product algebra S(An,V)cong S(Sn,V)imesBbbZ2.
